1 Chronicles 21:26-30

26And David built there an altar to the Lord and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings and called on the Lord, and the Lord answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.

27Then the Lord commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.

28At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.

29For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon,

30but David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
